I think using a lightweight flywheel is probably a fine idea - should not be a problem to find one for a GM smallblock application, I'd guess. As was stated previously, all of this spinning mass is also supported by the transmission's input bearing, so the airplane example is not quite the same thing.
One thing to consider is whether there is a clutch disc with adequate springs to absorb the power pulses from a big 4 diesel. Without this, all the pulses are going to go into the gearbox - sort of like turning the input shaft with an impact wrench. Would a GM diesel clutch work at all?
